2026 BRIGADA ESKWELA JOINT LAUNCHING
Today, June 1, 2026, marked a powerful demonstration of community spirit and bayanihan as Santo Tomas National High School (STNHS), led by Sir Jason W. Pascaden, and Santo Tomas Elementary School (STES), led by Sir Arlito Pecay, successfully held the simultaneous Opening and Joint Launching of the 2026 Brigada Eskwela at the STES grounds!
The event was graced by Hon. Lawrence Donato, Barangay Captain of Santo Tomas Central, who delivered a highly inspiring message that reminded everyone of the vital role the community plays in uplifting our schools.
To give everyone a clear roadmap for the week, STES Master Teacher Julian Alcabedo and STNHS Head Teacher Dave Nardo presented the lined-up Brigada Eskwela activities and timelines to our enthusiastic volunteers and stakeholders.
School leaders and community partners also came together to discuss critical updates and student-centered programs for the upcoming school year. Important conversations were opened regarding the 3-Term Calendar, the Flexible Learning Program, updated Student Assessments, a Strengthened Senior High School curriculum, Work Immersion, the strict enforcement of the Child Protection Policy, and fostering a culture of Grandsdism and school pride.
